94166, No, I just learned about her from Chuck Palahniuk

I read his book of essays and the guy was just going WILD over her writing so I got her collected stories and have read most of them. They're really great, although I think at the end of the day, since I'm not a big short story fan in the first place, I probably vote for Julie Orringer. Not based on the things Palahniuk & you love -- use of language -- but based on the connection I felt with the situations & emotions she describes.
